Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a safe, non-invasive, and FDA-approved treatment for depression and other brain health issues. It uses magnetic pulses similar to an MRI to stimulate parts of the brain that regulate mood. The pulses encourage the brain to form new neural connections, alleviating your depression symptoms in as little as four weeks. Some of the most common uses at our clinic include:
We use NeuroStar Advanced Therapy TMS to treat our patients. NeuroStar TMS has the largest clinical data set of any TMS treatment, including studies with over 900 participants. Clinical trials show 7 out of 10 patients respond to TMS, and 50 percent will achieve long-term remission. We’ve seen these same results with our own patients! This is a safe, alternative depression treatment without drugs and one of the best TMS therapies available.
Our doctors and staff administer safe and non-invasive TMS treatment in our clinics. You’ll typically undergo TMS therapy sessions five days a week for four to six weeks. The length varies depending on your individualized treatment plan. Each session lasts 19-37 minutes.
